The Justice Department just confirmed the delusion our government has been operating under for about 240 years. The U.S. constitution was founded on the quicksand of independence, a mental construct Albert Einstein was not around to warn them about, but the Decantation of Independence was. Most Americans don't know (I didn't until a month ago) that wasn't its official title then. It was "The unanimous Declaration of thirteen united States of America." Einstein called "independence" an "illusion" in our irreversible interdependent universal reality. He understood this fundamental principle of the universe. Everything is connected, interdependent and vulnerable - operating on "the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God", which was expressed in the Declaration. Then ignored by those democratically codifying the Constitution with a majority vote asserting (and some believing) slaves were only 3/5 of a human being.
Imagine all the wars our nation could have avoided since then, plus pandemics, violent extremism, extreme violent weather conditions, or unsustainable debt, had we not just reacted to things we believed were separate. And used systemic thinking instead.
Only four of the Declaration's signers came to the Constitutional convention. And now, all the ambiguous words within it give the Supreme Court job security, and to make decisions on their own interpretation of history. Ignoring biology, physics, environmental sustainably, and psychology of the human spirit. Delivering not justice, but more chaos and personal/national/global insecurity.
We need a new constitution engineered by NASA. Not more lawyers and corporate lobbyists. Those on the Artemis space mission, if they return to before the next world war, might be able to convince us after their experience with the overview effect - that humankind's collective insanity is real. And the US constitution and UN Charter are in need of an urgent overhaul. Not by majority vote. But by adhering to Thomas Paine's Common Sense, science, and the foundation of every religion (the golden Rule on our goldilocks planet.
